Made this very comforting Pumpkin Spinach and salmon porridge sometime back and thought it would be good to share here too. I quite like this porridge because it’s very versatile and healthy. Eliminate the salmon and you will get a vegan dish. Eliminate the ginger and you have a kids’ friendly meal. I am none of the above so I have everything all in.
It’s also a very delicious and healthy porridge that uses very minimal seasoning as the pumpkin provides for the sweetness of the dish whilst spinach add to the green-ness alongside with healthy salmon cubes. The colour of this dish is very brilliant too and makes it look very appetising.

- 200ml chicken stock (or vegetable stock if for vegan)
- 400-500ml water
